Airnet AUH104 4 Ports USB2.0 Hub

Pros: -Cheap -Works at 2.0 speed -Small and compact -Comes with a 12" USB extension cable.

Cons: -At first the hib would flicker on and off like there was a bad connection, but that has stopped. -unpowered, not a major issue with many devices, but if need a powered hub look elsewhere.

Most Critical Review

Died right after warranty

NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch (GS605NA)
NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch (GS605NA)

Pros: Cheap, small, fast

Cons: My unit was function very well until the 2 year mark and started to need to be reset. At first it was eery few days and now its every few hours. I bought two of these and the other is working fine. I will be contacting NetGear support and hope they swap it under warranty despite the warranty expiring 7 days ago.

Very fun game

Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars PC Game
Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars PC Game

Pros: The cut scenes are top notch. They really give you a story to follow instead of the typical "adult movie" story line. Runs decent on my machine (24" iMac running windows in Bootcamp). I have an intel C2D 2.16ghz, 2gb ram, and 7600gt graphics card. Runs swimmingly @ 1920x1200

Cons: Jennifer Morrison's acting is sooooo bad in this game. Map navigation takes a little while to get used to, but there is a learning curve for any game.

They work!

Pros: What can i say? They are short so you don't have a mess of wires. They fit well.

Cons: none, just buy the right length.

Fine enclosure

Pros: Easy construction, USB and Firewire, reliable.

Cons: None

Overall Review: It has served me well so far for months. I expect it to last quite a bit longer. I own the black version as well. That one is over a year old now. I have a 300Gb drive in one.Go buy one.

Nice card, great price

Penguin Gear PCI USB2.0 & 1394A 4+2(6-Port) Combo Add-On Card Model PG-COM-303

Pros: -the internal usb and FW ports. i used it to make my computer have "internal" bluetooth with a dLink DBT-120 adapter. -ALi chipset seems to be pretty decent. -Firewire works well with my iPod and external DVD burner.

Cons: -Manual is lacking...but not like you need to read it anyway

Overall Review: Great price for what you are getting.
